Scientists have reached a new milestone in decoding the human genome, unlocking complex regions once believed to be too ...

Rosalind Franklin was known for her intellectual rigour, keen sense of justice, and strong personality. She was a private ...

A new study shows that over 99% of the human genome can be accurately assembled by focusing on 65 diverse humans.

Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

This makes it far easier to perform this type of assembly in real life, because you’d need to generate a much smaller set of ...

A predictive biophysical model that integrates protein-DNA structures and sequences to accurately determine genomic binding sites and affinities of DNA-binding proteins.

SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) protein complexes are ring-shaped molecular motors essential for genome folding. Despite recent progress, the detailed molecu ...

This AI model is capable of analyzing up to 1 million DNA base pairs and predicting thousands of molecular properties related to regulatory activity.

Vitamin D matters: People taking 2,000 IU/day lost 140 fewer DNA base pairs from their telomeres over four years—that’s roughly a three-year biological “age credit.” Omega‑3?

Some of these treatments, like K.J.'s, are built with base editing technology, a gene editing technique developed by Liu's team in 2016 to directly convert an individual DNA base pair into a ...

A Kobe University team was able to edit the DNA of Lactobacillus strains directly without a template from other organisms. This technique is indistinguishable from natural variation and enabled ...

Editing 20 SNPs – out of billions of base pairs – is a minuscule change in evolutionary terms. The result? These animals may look a little like dire wolves, but they are not dire wolves.
